Hi! My name is Ariel, and I am a dependable, caring, and patient individual who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have a background in education, which has taught me the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun.

I pride myself on being responsible, organized, and attentive to each child's unique needs. Whether it's helping with homework, planning fun activities, preparing meals, or maintaining a consistent routine, I strive to make life easier for families while providing compassionate care.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Caylie I am 20 years old, and I'm an aspiring private old school and illustrative tattoo artist! Upon moving to chicago, I will be in the process of getting all of my licenses, and will need plenty of work to pay for it! I grew up as the oldest sister of 6, and my youngest sibling is an infant. I am well-versed in caring for children ages 0-9, however, I would prefer ages 1 and up. I also grew up coaching gymnastics at my gym, to pay for my lessons. Since it paid for my lessons, I wasn't actually paid until my last year coaching. I would love to have the opportunity to help out working, loving families who may not have the opportunity to care for their children at all times.

A little bit about me

Hello
My name is Destiny Anthony, I bring both professional experience and a deep personal passion for working with children. For the past two years, I’ve worked in education as a SECA (Special Education Classroom Assistant) with Chicago Public Schools. This role has given me hands-on experience supporting diverse learners, collaborating with teachers, and creating a safe, nurturing classroom environment. I’ve worked as an ABA Behavioral Therapist, where I provided one-on-one support to children with developmental needs. I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education at Grand Canyon University. My goal is to continue making a difference in children’s lives—helping them grow emotionally, socially, and academically.
I’m truly passionate about creating loving, structured, and enriching environments where children feel safe and supported. I would love the opportunity to bring that same energy and care into your home.
Thank you for considering me!
